SPV or simplified payment verification is a method for verifying particular transactions were included in a block without downloading the entire block. The method is used by some lightweight Bitcoin clients.
Source-Based Routing::
On the Lightning Network the sender of a payment decides the route of the payment.
On the Lightning Network, the sender of a payment decides the route of the payment.
While this decreases the success rate of the routing process, it increases the privacy of payments.
Due to the SPHINX Mix Format used by the Onion Routing, all routing nodes do not know the originator of a payment or the final recipient.
Source-based routing is fundamentally different to how routing works on the Internet Protocol.
soft fork::
Soft fork or Soft-Forking Change is a temporary fork in the blockchain which commonly occurs when miners using non-upgraded nodes don't follow a new consensus rule their nodes don’t know about.
